Donna started the Nirahara process in July 2012 and continued into The Samyama in Kodaikanal.
The experience took her beyond the pattern of food. Her body became much lighter and sensitive to energy.
There is a huge utility value to not being pulled by the emotions of hunger. Traveling long distances became very easy and stress free.
Some unexpected side effects were increased flexibility in my body. My core strength increased drastically without any conscious decision to build it.
Donna is a professional designer and artist. The effect of The Samyama was a noticeable increase in creativity and execution of details. The hands carry and energy through them that did not exist before. The designs are much more spontaneous than ever before.
My deep gratitude to Swamiji for the gift of The Samyama. There is no will power involved. The body responds directly to the energetic configurations installed by the Master. The energy of the samyama expresses itself.
There is not a moment that goes by that Donna doesn’t acknowledge this extraordinary happening. “Before the samyama I knew logically that I was blessed by Swamiji. After the samyama, every cell of my body knew experientially that I am living in a blessed body.”
I have not taken a meal since July, but I have eatten solid food on few occassion.
San Diego satsang center is currently in my home. We support the samyama by serving soup and fresh juice.
